When Li Gui saw Wu Yuan coming over, he was very happy. No matter what Wu Zetian thinks, the guards like Wu Wei will definitely distrust Feiyun even more.
After hearing Feiyun urging him to leave, Li Gui showed great respect for Feiyun without any hesitation. After saying a few words, he pulled Yanran and left quickly.
Although Li Gui had left, his last words stung Wu Yuan's heart. Wu Zhong died under the joint efforts of Li Gui and Mei Mei. In the eyes of Wu Yuan and others, Li Gui and Mei Mei were both the murderers of Wu Zhong.
Under Wu Zetian's suppression, Wu Wei, Wu Yuan and others did not dare to express their hatred towards the beauty, so they could only vent their anger on Li Gui. These children of the Wu family vowed to make Li Gui pay for his blood debt in the future.
When Feiyun entered the Heavenly King's Palace just now, Wu Yuan accidentally saw him. Wu Yuan immediately reported it to Wu Zetian, who was not surprised. She actually knew in her heart that with Feiyun's character, she would definitely be worried and would protect herself secretly.
Wu Zetian thought for a while and asked Wu Yuan to invite Feiyun. She happened to have something to discuss with Wu Wei and Fei Yun. Wu Yuan immediately walked out of the Zen room and came to the outside of the Tianwang Hall.
Wu Yuan looked around and soon saw Feiyun talking to two people. The two people had their backs to Wu Yuan, so Wu Yuan naturally didn't know they were Li Gui and Yan Ran.
Wu Yuan thought that Feiyun was just bored for a while and just found someone to chat with. When he got to Feiyun, he discovered that he was actually the murderer of Wu Zhong.
Wu Yuan suddenly thought of Wu Zhong's four, and immediately wanted to draw his sword and avenge Wu Zhong. But just as his hand was about to be pulled out by the knife at his waist, Feiyun held him down.
Feiyun's strength was far greater than that of Wu Yuan, so naturally Wu Yuan couldn't pull it out. Then Feiyun reminded Wu Yuan that he should not act rashly in public.
Although Wu Yuan was unwilling to give in, there was nothing he could do. After Li Gui and Yan Ran disappeared into the crowd, Feiyun let go of Wu Yuan. Wu Yuan was naturally very angry when he saw that Li Gui was still missing!
Wu Yuan immediately shouted to Feiyun: "What do you mean? The traitors are right in front of you, but you let them go again!"
Feiyun ignored Wu Yuan's words and asked, "How do you know I'm here? What do you want from me?"
Wu Yuan then remembered Wu Zetian's explanation and said coldly: "Madam, I have something to ask you!" After saying that, he turned around and left.
Feiyun knew that Wu Yuan must be very angry with him, after all, he let go of Wu Zhong's murderer. Feiyun didn't mind Wu Yuan's bad attitude and still followed Wu Yuan into the Heavenly King's Hall and to the door of the Zen room.
Wu Yuan stood at the door and said inside: "Tell me, madam, we have arrived!"
Wu Zetian immediately said: "Please come in quickly!" Wu Yuantie walked in with Feiyun with a livid face. Feiyun went in and saw that Wu Zetian was sitting on a chair with a table next to her and Zhang Changzong sitting on the other side of the table. Shangguan Wan'er stood behind Wu Zetian, and Wu Wei stood beside Wu Zetian.
Feiyun took a step forward, cupped his hands towards Wu Zetian, and said, "Mrs. Li, I originally wanted to follow you secretly, but I didn't expect you to find me!"
Wu Zetian smiled slightly and said: "This is Wu Yuan's sharp eyes. He saw you accidentally. In fact, I knew you would follow us. Young Master Lin, have you discovered anything?"
Before Feiyun could answer, Wu Yuan answered first: "Tell me, madam, he just let go of the murderer of brother Wu Zhong!"
When Wu Wei heard this, he quickly asked: "Yuan'er, did you read that correctly?"
Wu Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "Of course I'm not wrong. I was about to avenge Brother Zhong, but he stopped me." Wu Yuan said while pointing towards Feiyun.
Wu Wei immediately said angrily: "Young Master Lin, is that so? Why do you do this?"
Feiyun said slowly: "That's right. I don't think they have any ill intentions today, so they naturally let him go. Besides, I didn't want this road to become a battlefield, so I stopped Captain Wu."
Then Feiyun said to Wu Zetian: "Mrs. Li, do you think what I did was inappropriate?"
Wu Zetian said quickly: "Young Master Lin, you are right. No matter what, you cannot do anything in the temple. This is disrespectful to the Buddha. Commander Wu, Yuan'er, please don't mention this matter again." Wu Wei and Wu Yuan were helpless. He had no choice but to agree against his will.
Wu Zetian then pointed to an empty chair next to him and said, "Young Master Lin, please sit down and talk!"
Feiyun shook his head and said, "Mrs. Li, I just need to stand. Do you have any instructions?"
Wu Zetian smiled slightly and said: "Young Master Lin, apart from the young man named Li, did you meet anyone else?"
Feiyun thought for a while and then said: "I also saw Xu Zhitang and his junior sister. It seems that the whereabouts of Madam have been known to someone who is interested."
Wu Yuan said angrily: "What kind of person would descend to earth? I think you were the one who tipped them off. Otherwise, as soon as we arrived at Yuquan Temple, you would have secretly met with the man surnamed Li, trying to tell them the whereabouts of my wife."
Wu Zetian immediately shouted: "Wu Yuan, I have already said that you must not be rude to Shaoxia Lin. If you continue to disobey my orders like this, don't follow me!"
Wu Yuan was shocked and quickly apologized to Wu Zetian. Wu Wei was afraid that Wu Zetian would get angry and drive Wu Yuan away, so he also asked Wu Zetian for mercy.
Of course Wu Zetian was just showing off to Feiyun. Naturally, she did not sincerely drive Wu Yuan away. As soon as Wu Wei begged for mercy, Wu Zetian followed the trend and agreed to Wu Wei.
Wu Zetian then said to Feiyun: "I have finished all the things I wanted to do when I came to Yuquan Temple this time. I can set off tomorrow and rush back to Luoyang. As for taking the water route or the land route, I want to hear your suggestions."
Feiyun thought for a while and told Wu Zetian that she should take the land route instead of the water route. He believes that if you take the waterway, if you encounter danger, it will be difficult to escape safely on the river.
If you take the land route, it will be relatively easy to escape if you are attacked. Wu Wei was very opposed to Feiyun's suggestion. He believed that the recent series of attacks was because there were many places suitable for ambush on the land.
Two more groups of thieves appeared today. These people will definitely set up an ambush on the road. At that time, if they use fire attacks again, it will be difficult to deal with them.
Wu Wei felt that those traitors would never have imagined that Wu Zetian would go to the Han River dozens of miles away to take a boat. When they discovered that Wu Zetian had already boarded the ship, there was nothing they could do.
Wu Zetian thought for a moment and said that she would adopt Feiyun's suggestion and continue to take the land route. She believed that if attacked on the waterway, it would be really difficult to escape. To be on the safe side, Wu Zetian decided to return to the Hejia Town Inn immediately to prepare for departure tomorrow.
Wu Wei naturally had no objection, but Feiyun knew that Wu Wei still didn't believe in him. If you act with them, you must look at their faces.
Feiyun said that he couldn't leave immediately if he wanted to wait for the three of them here. Wu Zetian didn't say anything, she just told Feiyun to be careful and rush back as soon as possible so as not to worry her.
Wu Zetian then left Yuquan Temple surrounded by Wu Wei and others. After Feiyun sent them away, he waited at the gate of the temple for a good time and beautiful scenery.
Not long after, Liangchen and the others arrived at Yuquan Temple. As soon as the three people appeared, Feiyun spotted them. Feiyun hurriedly came forward and told Liangchen and the others that Wu Zetian had just left Yuquan Temple.
Feiyun wanted the three of them not to enter the temple, but to follow Wu Zetian directly and return as soon as possible. They would leave Dangyang City tomorrow. The three of them had no choice but to give up the idea of visiting Yuquan Temple and agreed in unison.
After Feiyun took out the horse from the inn, he led Liangchen and the others, following Wu Zetian's carriage, and walked slowly towards Hejia Town.
Unknowingly, the sun had set and everyone returned to the inn one after another. Feiyun and the other three entered the room. Liangchen immediately asked Feiyun, "Brother, I think you seem to be worried. Is something wrong?"
Feiyun immediately told Liangchen and Meimei in detail about his encounters with Xiao Yan and Caihong, Xu Zhitang and Xing'er, and Li Gui and Yanran.
Meili was shocked and asked quickly: "These people don't seem to have any intention of taking action. After talking to me for a while, they left on their own!"
Liangchen thought for a while and said: "It seems that these people still want to set up an ambush halfway to avoid trouble. If they go down the mountain here, they will definitely alert the officials."
Feiyun asked again: "Second sister, do you think there is any problem with my suggestion to Mrs. Li to take the land route?"
Liangchen thought for a while and said: "Brother, of course there is no problem. If Mrs. Li takes a boat, it will be much easier for others to deal with her!"
Liangchen sighed, thinking that Xu Zhitang's fire attack method was effective last time, and he would probably do it again this time. If that's the case, I'm afraid the journey back will definitely not be peaceful.
Seeing Liangchen's frowning face, Meimei hurriedly said: "Second sister, you don't have to worry. As long as we are careful!"
Feiyun didn't want Liangchen to worry too much, so he said: "Second sister, I thought about it. Although there are four groups of people who want to assassinate Mrs. Li now, they all fight on their own, so it is not difficult to deal with them."
Liangchen smiled slightly and said: "Brother is right. Fortunately, they did not join forces, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with it. They would take turns to attack along the way, which is a bit annoying."
Feiyun said: "There is nothing we can do about it. We can only try to adapt to the situation!"
Liangchen said to Feiyun again: "Brother, we should follow Mrs. Li and divide them into two teams to avoid being taken over by the other party."
Feiyun nodded. He didn't want to act with Wu Wei and others. Coupled with today's encounter with Li Gui, Wu Wei and others naturally did not want to see the three of them.
Feiyun thought it would be better to be more sensible and follow behind to prevent any unexpected events. Feiyun made up his mind and went to tell Wu Zetian and Wu Wei.
Wu Zetian thought that these dangers were all resolved because of this arrangement. Wu Zetian immediately agreed and let Feiyun and the others decide on their own.
Wu Wei was naturally eager to do so, as he had always disliked Feiyun and the others. It's just that because of Wu Zetian, he didn't dare to show it. Now Feiyun took the initiative, and he immediately agreed, saying that this arrangement was the most reasonable and could be echoed back and forth.
Of course Feiyun knew what he was thinking, but he didn't tell him, he just smiled.
